Past, present, or future. What fate will the cards uncover?
After striking up conversation with a wandering terrifying mercenary in a remote tavern, he's agreed to travel together for a while before you go your separate ways.
That separation is approaching soon. To commemorate your final night together you suggest reading him his fortune; might be useful for the road ahead, right?
Except neither of you are particularly looking forward to saying goodbye..
Happy full moon everyone! I’ve had a really good month and got a ton of writing done (almost 50k!) which you can read right now for free here:
Thicker Than - Updated Demo
I really hope you like it.
Side note: I also announced a book deal for a not-interactive novel I wrote back in 2022 this month. Of Monsters and Mainframes is going to be published with Bindary in 2025!
I'm ridiculously excited. I'm also going to be a bit busy next month editing that, so the vampires are going to have to take a bit of a back seat. I hope that's okay.
In regards to Thicker Than, I have finished Chapters Eight, Nine, and have started Chapter Ten. Chapter Ten and Eleven are both much branchier chapters, so may take a little longer to write than Chapters Eight and Nine did.
There’s a few fairly major plot points/twists in this update, and I’m a wee bit terrified to hear your reaction to those.
In Chapter Ten, the romance scenes are mostly unfinished with the exception of Marcel’s (totally finished) and Tracy’s (half finished).
As always, thanks for your passion and enthusiasm (and fanart! It's been so motivating to see so much love for these characters!).
Double thank you to the people who've supported me over on Kofi. I couldn't do this without you. I couldn't do this without you. 💙

When you are finally released from the magically induced sleep, though, you decide you’ve had enough of Hell and your parents.

Will Winters
[Male]
28 years old
INFO- Will has been taught how to deal with demons by his father- that is to say, he’s an exorcist. He’s kind, but usually tries to hide his emotions behind sarcasm and laughter. He lived in New Orleans for most of his life, before he decided to move to NYC after his father suggested he go and help his Uncle out with the catholic church he owns.
Anya Zonov
[Female]
25 years old
INFO- Anya moved from Plyos, Russia, to the US when she was 15 due to some traumatic events she doesn’t like to talk about. She can see and talk with spirits, and usually attracts them, despite her best efforts not to. She’s quiet, usually trying not to stand out. She likes to read and write, instead of interacting with people [Living or dead].
Murmur
[Nonbinary]
??? Years old
INFO- Murmur is a Duke of Hell, meaning they are pretty highly ranked. But they don't want power anymore, and if they were honest with themself, they would admit that they never wanted power to begin with. They love learning, obtaining knowledge of different things, and they love interacting with humans. They are rather kind for a demon, but don't try to take advantage of them, or else.
Daniel "Dani"
[Genderfluid]
??? Years old
INFO- Dani is a 'Watcher', meaning they are an angel that often comes to Earth to watch over humans. Their time on Earth has opened their eyes to a lot of the questionable things their father and siblings inflict on human beings. They are rather naïve, but very loyal. They might seem a bit disinterested in you at first, but give them a chance to open up and you might be surprised at their level of devotion to you.
A Tavern at Night: Firelight will be releasing on 24 April, 2024!
That's right!! We get to annoy the living daylights out of big green boy again!!!
I'm so thankful for all the love and support A Tavern at Night has received (and continues to receive!)--and of course for the demands for more. Well, I heard you loud and clear, and here he is.
Firelight picks up after A Tavern at Night's "good" ending. There will be multiple endings, chooseable pronouns, and... some kind of card game! Sorry, Azram. There's no escape.
And of course this game is ace-friendly as always :)

"In this town, there is a long-standing rumor about people being spirited away... They also say that people with lots of anxiety or those who are struggling are more likely to get spirited away. You think you'll be okay...?
In the beginning of autumn, during her second year of high school, that's what Misa Isshiki, was told by her best friend, causing her heart to skip a beat.
I'll be fine, I don’t really believe in any of that stuff anyway.
That's right... She doesn't believe in that kind of thing...It's just... Her life had been filled with so much stress, all related to what her future would hold...
That's when an eerie voice reached out to her...
Why don't we take a look and see what you should do with your life! Let’s put you on the right path…
And that's when all the strange things around Misa began to happen..."
